Nightly build 2005-07-30T08:31 breaks XPath in Greasemonkey scripts
(tested with both GM 0.4.2a3 and 0.4.999a1).
var snapResults = document.evaluate("//*", document, null,
XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null);
always throws
Error: null has no properties
Source File: testxpath.user.js

The problem is the third parameter, which can be an NSResolver
function (or null, allegedly). If I define a dummy function, it gets
past that but I get a different error.
var snapResults = document.evaluate("//*", document, function() {
return ''; }, XPathResult.UNORDERED_NODE_SNAPSHOT_TYPE, null);
Error: XPathResult has no properties

Again, this is not due to the changes in GM 0.4.999a1, because it ONLY
happens in Firefox-nightly-2005-07-30 (not Deer Park alpha 2, not
Firefox 1.0.6), and it happens with ANY version of Greasemonkey
(tested with 0.4.2a3 and 0.4.999a1). Presumably it's due to the
changes they made in that bug that Phil referenced (296967). I
mention it here to warn GM scripters to stay away from the nightlies
for a while, and in the hope that Phil can turn around and report it
to the appropriate Mozilla hackers the next time he catches them on
IRC (where all real decisions are made).
